INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTE SERIES LECTURE SERIES: CITIZENSHIP AT RISK

Globalization, changing economic and political entitlements, and
ethno-nationalism have rendered the concept of citizenship increasingly
more ambiguous and more fragile. As part of the LS&A theme year
on “Citizenship”, the International Institute and its constituent
units will explore the changing meaning and practice of citizenship
in an era of increasingly complex local, national, regional and
global allegiances. See the International Institute Events Calendar for further information.
